Short description and translation
I have changed the short description from "Soviet anti-Islam campaign in Central Asia" to "Soviet campaign against gender inequality in Central Asia". The Paranja - the primary form of veiling in Central Asia - is not a requirement within Islam and was a cultural rather than religious practice, even if sometimes justified through appeals to religion. To suggest that the Hujum was anti-Islam in general is to equate regionally specific cultural practices with a global religion. Soviet propaganda during the Hujum did not directly attack Islam, but the specific cultural practices of the region. The Soviet government was aware of the necessity for local support (as is already noted within this article), and were also aware that an anti-Islam campaign would undermine any progress in the field of gender equality. Hujum primarily targeted cultural practices within Muslim-majority areas, and this is already acknowledged within the opening paragraph, but it is misleading to summarise the Hujum as simply an "anti-Islam" campaign, rather than as a campaign against gender inequality in relation to regional cultural practices.
